[WEATHER53]

It’s a new moon on 22nd and when tides are agitated, that usually enhances them .

The core was essentially completely destroyed. Will be a little surprising to see it rebuild, but that convection is really impressive so we'll see.

That is a gutted storm right there. Nothing really showed that happening

Particularly impressive given its size.

Right now Erin is moving NNW, so the GFS model might not be picking up on that.

No current flights in to Erin, but last flight, had a higher pressure that the last NHC report.

Erin is definitely a lot healthier looking than earlier today. There may be an attempt at rebuilding the core now:

This apparent restrengthening is as predicted by the Euro, UKMET, Icon and possibly others.

I think it’s earlier collapse was much more drastic than anyone expected but given improving shear and very high ocean temps over its path the next few days I believe it recovers back to a healthy 2. I am convinced it weakened to a 1 this morning so I’d consider reaching its operational intensity as restrengthening lol
